I bought this pattern after seeing a corduroy shirt dress in Toast which was prohibitively expensive. I made the dress in a very fine corduroy and it hangs really well. I made the size 14 as I usually wear thin polo necks under dresses if I can, I live in the cold north. The pattern went together well although I couldn’t find the finished length so I used the longest length size 18 as I’m tall but in hindsight I could have just made the pattern as was.
The alterations I made to the pattern were to French seam the bib and back yoke and sew a double line of stitching in a contrast thread, I still felt the front was a bit plain so added a row of tiny buttons. I did the same double line on the hem. The pattern lacked pockets which I always need so I added pockets into the side seams.
If I made the shirt again which I will in a more summery fabric I would alter the pleat at the front and invert it
